The Story Behind This Book
This is my first fiction and first release in a trilogy. This book came about after writing a funny but very serious stage production "STOP! You're Killing Me". The fiction creative juices were flowing and this is a product of that journey. Enjoy!
Praise and Reviews
“…sometime when you start to read a book, you can not get into it for the first two or three chapters. Then as I was reading I thought, do I know these people? This is like church folks, we have to go eat somewhere after church. Then as I read on this is everyday life. People in the church are losing jobs, hurting, and hiding the pain. The lies need to be exposed… And the way you stop it…” Girl, write on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I really enjoyed the book and read it the same night I purchased it. Once I started reading I couldn’t stop because I had to know what happened next. It was exciting and emotional and I can’t wait for the sequel!”
T. Smoot
“The book was a roller coaster ride of emotions. Full of suspense, laughs, tears and pure joy. The story lines are believable and the characters seemed to be living their lives in front of your very eyes. Families whose lives are connected in more ways than one. Chasing wealth and materialistic gain all in the midst of their weekly Sunday routines (hmm! can’t wait to see if it’s real or just going through the motions).
Their life fuelled by the affects of lust and deception certainly keeps your attention. The life lessons they will have to endure are the ones that will destroy or strengthen families and friendships. Boundaries are definitely crossed and how these families survive will be a testament of their faith.
Congrats!!!! Hurry with part two, your fans are waiting...”
